Put on some comfortable shoes and pack a picnic for your visit, where you can either take the beaten path or explore with freedom. Whichever you do, reach the rocky cliffs for a 180-degree view of the Pacific Ocean.

SkyPoint Climb

If you’re travelling with thrill-seekers, SkyPoint Climb in Surfers Paradise is an open-air climb on the top of the famous Q1 building that is second-to-none when it comes to sightseeing. Officially the highest point on the Gold Coast, this outdoor structure boasts a birds-eye-view over Surfers Paradise and a 360-degree vista across the region – an experience not to forget.

Choose between day or night climbs, with sunrise, sunset and dinner packages also available.

If SkyPoint Climb leaves you and your group wanting more, put your bravery to the test for a second time at Sling Shot Fun Park. Situated in Surfers Paradise, just a few minutes from our Main Beach Gold Coast holiday rentals via car or Glink, Sling Shot Gold Coast offers a high-octane experience like no other on its two rides, the Slingshot and Vomatron, which are not for the fainthearted.

Both attractions boast high speed, high altitude and rapid acceleration, with an audacious challenge of taking on both one after the other!
